Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What is the ruling on employing non-Muslims to work in these Muslim countries? And are they considered to have the ruling of the People of the Book (dhimmis)?
Answer:
No. The dhimmis are those who pay the jizyah and reside in our lands, living in our lands and paying the jizyah. These are the dhimmis. As for those who are brought from the disbelievers to our lands by the permission of the one in authority, or brought to work, these are not the dhimmis. These are the employees; these are called the employees. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
